Can this fuel be used effectively with a Jetboil stove? Is it isobutane/propane?

Here is the answer I found on the Jetboil website: Jetboil is compatible with valves made to the EN417 specification, a standard adopted by manufacturers throughout the world. Please note that the product has not been tested with every different type of fuel canister, and we cannot claim safe operation with any canister other than our Jetpower brand of fuel. On the forums people complain that performance is diminished when you don't use Jetboil fuel, but it does look like you can use it in a pinch.

If it fits the canister it can be used.There is little difference between butane/propane and isobutane/propane.Isobutane is a structural isomer of butane. It has the same molecular formula as butane, but the structural formula is different. It is also known as methylpropane.The Iso may burn cooler but not enough unless your cooking in -30* it may not burn as wellBob LechWilderness Elite Search & RescueSearch & Rescue Training.Severe Weather-Swift-Water-Pet Rescue(609)-638-1629

I have a gas stove. It does just fine. I usually use a medium to medium high flame--it pops pretty fast. I put my butter right in there along with the oil (I've been using coconut oil). The butter browns just a little bit, but it tastes great and it's all evenly buttered when you pour it into your serving bowl!

no. white gas stoves must be primed and be able to get the liquid fuel hot enough to produce vapor. the jetting is different as well. for those stoves that can burn both white gas (liquid) and canister the jets must be changed in order to support the intended product.

it works with others, no problem. I've used giga power, jet boil, and some no-name super cheap army surplus fuel blend with no troubles at all. Never used the coleman blend, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well. This stuff looks like its made for one of these stoves, so you should be ok.Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel (Mix Fuel 7.75 oz.) - 7.75 oz.hope this helps.

it's a multi fuel stove. If you'll use a liquid fuel (gasoline, petrol, benzine) - you need a pump (it's included in the package ofcourse). If you'd like to usea gas (butan, propan) - you don't need a pump

1) isopro canisters are not available empty, they are factory charged like a propane tank but mini sized. 2) U.S. or otherwise they are available at many sporting goods stores that sell camp gear. 3) YES ispro canister stoves are very easy to use and an affordable choice. BUT... 4) You can NOT fly isopro canisters anywhere, US or international, so you have to buy them overseas if that is your stove/fuel of choice. 5) You also can NOT fly camp stoves, at least not in the US and often International will prevent flying with them. The 'official' rule is, if it is brand new, never been used, has NO fuel or residue in it you could fly it BUT since TSA would really have no way of knowing if its new they will often remove it from your luggage if it is found. No to mention, just having it in your luggage even if new gives them cause to open and search your luggage, which then opens up the possibility of things becoming 'lost'.... lastly, my personal, prefereance and experience is to make an alcohol stove at your destination, youtube search for 'pop can alcohol stove'. Easy, cheap and, available world wide, without having to fly the stove or the fuel. They work.

The dual fuel is for liquid fuel only, either COLE/CROWN (aka white gasoline, no additives) fuel, or low octane gasoline from the local filling station. There is a propane version of this stove that takes the long narrow brazing torch propane bottles from the local hardware store, or you can use the adapter (the one your talking about) to connect a large BBQ tank (20 lbs).

The stove is good but the connector to the propane is a hard line and cannot be adapted to use with a large tank so it only works with the small tanks. This is adisapointment

I have used charcoal brickets and fluid with good results. Don't skimp on the size of the pile, as when you spread them out they won't provide sufficient heat. Don't know about other fuel types.

The top burners are very different from other camp chef stoves. They definitely do not throw the heat that the rest do and yes you can throttle the fire back to simmer. The fuel/ air mix seems perfect, blue flame and NO soot to scrub off the outside of the pot. I think it does use more fuel than they claim,, but the small bottles are easy to carry and they can be refilled.

I have not used mine yet as we have managed to heat up food in the original jetboil pot, but if you plan on cooking with pots other than the jetboil pot (e.g. heating up food for more than 1-2 people then yes it would be useful).

While I don't believe it would be dangerous, this torch is designed for MAPP and propane. If you used isobutane, which has an extra carbon in its chemical formula, you might get a flame temp not as hot as you were expecting. The reason is the orifice is designed to admit enough air to burn a 3-carbon gas like propane. A 4-carbon chain requires more air on a proportional basis. I would try it and see what you get, but only if the butane tank access fits the torch. If you get any trace of yellow in the flame, not enough air is being admitted to completely burn the butane. As such, the flame will have a lower temperature, and could even deposit soot on your work. If no yellow, you still may not be out of trouble. Butane liquid "boils"in the tank at a higher temperature than propane. So during prolonged use of butane fuel at maximum flow rate for the torch, the flame may eventually go to a lower level, unless you were to supply warmth (ungloved hands, warm water) to the butane tank.

I have used wood, a charcoal bricket, a tea light and an alchol burner. all have boiled water very well. so yes you can use other fuels with it.

you can use diesel fuel but it will not burn as clean. I personally would not. It will smell and need more service. I used to work for a rental company that had lots of these kind of heaters. Diesel is not as clean burning.

I can not speak for Camp Chef, but as someone who knows about gas/propane yes you could. The burners will not burn at the same temp as the manufacture intended (meaning the BTU rating) There is a fifferent size orfice between gas and propane. Propane burns hotter there for the orfice is smaller then a NG or natural gas. The BTU would be lower for the burner then what it would be for propane. High would be Med, Med would be Low, and etc.

Vector premiium Quintuplus refined butane gas. Vector butane is strongly recommended for all hi-tech jet flame lighters. I don't sell it; I just use it.

I just tried a JetBoil brand 3.5 ounce/100 gram fuel canister and it did fit. There was plenty of space to put my Primus Micron Ti 2.5 stove in along with it.
